Raisin the Lab Puppy

Hi, Janie! How are you? I wanted to let you know that we did a DNA kit on Pancho (fka Raisin). We believed the results would come back Lab/Shar Pei/Beagle?/Bassett Hound?, but to our HUGE SURPRISE, he is made up of the following: German Shepherd Weimaraner Neapolitan Mastiff Irish Terrier Cocker Spaniel Irish Water Dog Otterhound These were all the dogs that had a larger than 6% presence in his DNA, listed in order of largest percentage. Turns out, his SharPei looks come from the Mastiff in him, as well as his Cherry Eye. He has a lot of the Mastiff personality, too! He's very protective of us and his home but not overly - we have socialized him well. He's so very sweet and loves to cuddle more than anything! I have attached a recent picture of him snuggling with one of our cats, Lola, and another of him playing with our daughter, Gracie. He's such a fantastic addition to the family...he really fell right into place with everyone. Please add him to Judy's success stories. I also thought you might like to share his DNA profile with his siblings's families. We are planning on being a part of the Dash for Dogs, our company is going to do a "Mastiff" sponsorship. We had planned that before the DNA results showed up but now it really seems fitting! :) Hopefully we'll get to see you there. Thanks for sharing all this info with the respective people. We couldn't be happier with our "Heinz57"...truly a one-of-a-kind doggie! Hope you have a great weekend! Christina
